Description |
English: Lady Leake, 1657-1709 In about 1681 John Leake (BHC2834), then a lieutenant, married Christian, daughter of Captain Richard Hill of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Hill was among those who died the following year in the wreck of the ‘Gloucester’, accompanying James, Duke of York, to Leith. Christian died at Mile End on 9 December 1709 and was buried at Stepney church. She and Sir John Leake had one son, Captain Richard Leake, who died in 1720 shortly before his father, by then Admiral Sir John Leake. On the latter's death the bulk of his estate passed to his brother-in-law and former flag-captain, Stephen Martin (thereafter called Martin-Leake). This portrait and the one already mentioned of Sir John (by Michael Dahl) passed down in that family until presented to the Museum in 1973. Mary Beale, née Craddock, (baptized 1633 – d. 1699) was influenced by her friend Peter Lely, whom she copied. She was a successful portraitist in London in the 1670s and early 1680s. |
